A metre scale is standing vertically on the earth's surface on one of its end. It now falls on earth without slipping. Find the velocity with which the free end of the scale strikes the earth. (g=10 ~m / s ^2 )
Options
- A9.8 ~m / s
- B5.47 ~m / s
- C4.5 ~m / s
- D1 ~m / s
Correct answer
B. 5.47 ~m / s
Step-by-step solution
Velocity of free end aligned v & = 3 g h & = 3 10 1 & =5.47 ~m / s aligned
